Vacant job

Do you want to be part of the Swedish Tax Agency's journey and contribute to digital transformation? We are strengthening our architecture area and are looking for an Enterprise Architect (EA) with prior experience from complex IT landscapes.

As an EA, you have a holistic perspective on the impact across different layers to fulfill the agency's mission. Join us in making society possible!

About the job

As an EA with a focus on business and information architecture, and as part of the Swedish Tax Agency's architecture governance, you are a key player in the work towards the target architecture and the shift the Swedish Tax Agency is making towards an information-driven and digitized operation. You operate at the intersection of business and IT and contribute to creating a shared vision between different perspectives. You support development within the personal taxation domain and contribute to meeting today's and tomorrow's requirements. You work together with other EAs within and around the domain. The role also includes supporting and, when necessary, driving individual development initiatives.

The Swedish Tax Agency uses SAFe as an agile framework. You collaborate with system architects and development teams to gain their input, understand their business, and contribute to their ability to apply and realize target and concept architecture. The work involves extensive dialogue and collaboration with various teams. You also support management functions in target and strategic work.

We expect you to have experience with, and be comfortable describing, the benefits of architecture and clarifying its contribution in a pedagogical and clear manner that the recipient understands.

Your tasks as an EA involve planning and coordinating architecture work and driving the work forward together with others. We expect you to be strategically forward-looking and have experience supporting the business in vision and goal setting, as well as translating visions into architectural target images and identifying paths forward. You also have the ability to take initiative for the next step, even when the target image and prerequisites are not fully defined. You also have experience leading workshops and producing documentation of architecture concepts based on business capabilities.

You belong to the Development Unit in the Personal Taxation Department. The department operates in several locations. Possible locations for the position are Sundbyberg, Gothenburg, Malmö, Örebro, or Västerås. Approximately 30 colleagues work at the unit, and you will be part of the EA team, which currently consists of three members within business, information, and IT architecture.
